Yale University senior quarterback Patrick Witt withdrew his application for the Rhodes Scholarship to play in his final college football game this weekend against Harvard University.
Witt, 22, said last week he would ask the Rhodes Trust for an interview on Nov. 19, which would have allowed him to meet with scholarship representatives at Emory University in Atlanta and then fly back to New Haven, Connecticut, for a noon kickoff against the Crimson. The schools meet on the final weekend of every season in a contest known as “The Game.”
